Setting up a Blog

[Bleed S & G]

Anyone here have any experience blogging? I'm getting ready to set one up, and I'm playing around with WordPress, was wondering if theres any pointers or better software out there.. or should I write my own code?

I've heard WordPress is great. There are many extensions that you can use to build onto it. I use Blogger and like it just fine, although my blog isn't too elaborate or anything.

Here's a comparison chart that might be helpful:

i wont be, i'm setting it up for the company. besides moving us higher in the search engine rankings, it should provide a solid resource for clients.

WordPress. DIY. Mod it if you have to, but there isn't anything better, and the pricetag is just right: Free dollars.

Best part is it only takes 5 minutes to install, if that, and it's portable so you can move the install to another machine if you have to restore from backup or make an upgrade. No muss, no fuss.

i have a pretty solid knowledge of coding and computers.. biggest road block with word press is i've never done an sql database, matter of fact, the only thing that limits me with programming is the use of databases... something about them just dosen't click with me. Are there any templates of databases, or one that you use sushi that I could modify?

Any one have any updates to the best blog software to use? I see that Google has taken over Blogspot. I want to start writing some things and I am not sure I want to start doing a blog on Google.

My wife and I just started blogging on Wordpress. It's pretty easy to use and its nice to have it automatically tweet or send out a status when you post something new.
